Late in the day of my birthday last week I was asked to be on a call with my family to discuss end of life care for my Mom. I was connected to the others through 5G, VOIP, and a 512 alias I’ve had for 18 years. I was sitting on a beach near Warnemünde, Germany

The NYT and others keep alleging that "outdated location data" was a part of the "mistake" of bombing an elementary school in Minab, Iran, killing 175 people, most of them children. Play areas were visible by satellite in 2018.

I just don't believe that extrapolating patterns in language into a mathematical model leads to "pattern recognition" or to conceptualization or thought or any such things. It's more accurate to say the philosopher trains the model with instructions. But she's out here talking about parenting it.
“There is this human-like element to models that I think is important to acknowledge,” Askell, 37, says during an interview at Anthropic’s headquarters, asserting the belief that “they’ll inevitably form senses of self.” 

She compares her work to the efforts of a parent raising a child. She’s training Claude to detect the difference between right and wrong while imbuing it with unique personality traits

Like, the sort of mention of an AI company “philosopher” who is “teaching morals” to Claude “like a parent” will never seem to not piss me off. But @rusty.todayintabs.com helps me breathe through it:
Poppycock. She’s doing none of those things. She’s writing science fiction which will be used by a mathematical equation to alter the statistical likelihood of a computer program choosing some tokens rather than other tokens as its output. Saying that any of this is teaching a chatbot philosophy is like calling yourself a psychiatrist because you thought about Oedipus while jacking off.

Clavicular Had A Big Weekend

Braden Peters, better known to the world’s worst men as Clavicular, was arrested in Arizona this weekend. He was charged with using a fake ID in a nightclub and possession of a prescription drug. But you may have missed a few of the the other disastrous things that happened to him:

He was brutally frame mogged by an ASU frat leader twice

His cortisol levels were spiked by foids while he was mid jestergooning and munting and mogging moids

He was ragebaited by the King of Scottsdale

A larpmaxxed Stacy jesterfied him mid-mog

He was stalkmaxxed by a sub 5 jester

His girl started tweaking after he gave her too much pregab

He got hard mogged and aura bled at the gym and almost lost his ascension rank

This has been your weekly Clavicular update. See you next week.

Check out this GIF on the Yale Human Nature Lab website, which Christakis directs. There's no audio. It's just him gesticulating. He's not only a shit human, he's embarrassing.

Another fun thing about the episode of Voyager this appears in: Kim Rhodes, one of my all-time favorite Voyager guest stars, got her Autism diagnosis at age 52. I remember being so crushed that her character wasn't going to stay on.

Of course there's a vibrant market for second hand appliances and cabinetry, and IKEA is a big supplier for building out a kitchen. But I really adore when I come across one of these traditional Küchen Schrank. A lot of times it's been passed along from Oma and Opa.

Funny what we normalize. I'd forgotten that about the US. Here in Germany, nothing comes with an apartment. No kitchen, closets, appliances... no light fixtures. The idea of a landlord-supplied washer-dryer and fridge boggles my mind now.

Something is *very* fishy. The TX Rep on a warpath about this posted a photo showing course readings, and the URL includes "369594". In the TAMU course catalog, ENG 369 is "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Authorship". x.com/brianeharris... catalog.tamu.edu/undergraduat...

btw, I just wanted to report back about .eu. Just a few seconds after migrating I can already see that it's a false promise. I use Little Snitch to sniff outgoing connections - even an .eu account still connects to US (and Canadian) servers. Unfortunately this sort of thing is all too common.

Pinned tweet of Executive Director of the "Free Enterprise Project" Stefan Padfield: (He must be fun at parties)
Pinned tweet by Stefan Padfiend @StefanPadfield May 10, 2024:

Everything is strangely inside quotation marks, but it isn't clear if he is quoting anything. 

"Truth is treason in the empire of lies."
"We will fight the woke in the schools.  We will fight the woke in the corporations.  We will fight the woke in the halls of government.  We will never, ever surrenter to the woke mob."
"If we must, we shall fight with our fingernails."

Everyone that she met, or knew her, has a good memory of Judith. Rest in Power, Judith. 💙 #MeCFS #severeME
Judith’s words to you:
Until the end, I had the unconditional love of my family and partner as well as my best friends and a community by my side who always found creative ways to include me. We would certainly have thought of many more things if this beast had not been so outrageously progressive. I loved everything so much — about the little world in my bed and the big one out there, about our connections. For example, how I decorated everything here and kept finding creative little things. I am proud of every single one of my pictures and our activities and I carry you all in my heart. Unfortunately, this atypical progression left me no other way, but I also saw this intensive process as an act of love with a lot of understanding and as a gift.
You will find me everywhere in our memories, and in every happy piglet you meet 😉
My life has made a lot of sense to me, from my adventures in faraway countries, to science, to art, and finally activism from bed — I have always been connected to these areas. I feel like I have lived and loved for five or more, thanks in part to you. My life is not a tragic one, because it was full of wonderful things right up to the end, and I hope to have left something good behind and created something beautiful.
Please do not take my story as a reason for less hope: this illness gives most people more opportunities and stability than it did for me. And I had a particularly insidious combination of different illnesses. Above all, a drug sensitivity that is unparalleled.
Celebrate life, enjoy the small and big things: I hope my story can be seen as that of a person who made the best of the cards she was dealt. Thank you so much to my family, my love, my network, everyone I’ve ever been in love with, all my friends. Love as much as you can.
